2022 KIA Sportage GT-Line ISG 1.6L Petrol · LD22 HDY

The vehicle presents as a roadworthy example with a highly stable maintenance history. The most recent inspection on April 2 2026 at 13,872 miles resulted in a clean pass following a technical failure exactly one day prior at 13,871 miles. Because the failure record shows no recorded defects, this discrepancy suggests an administrative error or a minor oversight by the tester that was immediately rectified rather than a recurring mechanical fault or structural deficiency. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a four-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,468 miles per annum. Between the April 2025 test at 10,172 miles and the April 2026 test, the car covered only 3,700 miles. This low rate of use typically results in significantly less wear on the drivetrain components, suspension bushes, and brake pads. However, such low annual mileage can sometimes lead to flat-spotting on tyres or brake corrosion if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Since the MOT record shows no historical advisories or recurring failures, a physical inspection should focus on the effects of low-mileage storage. Check the brake discs for surface rust or pitting, which often develops on cars that are not driven frequently, and inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking despite ample tread depth. Given the age of the Sportage, verify that the service history reflects time-based intervals rather than mileage-based ones to ensure fluids and rubber components remain chemically stable.
